A student called university police Monday night after her roommate's dad reportedly assaulted her, police reports stated.

Officers went to the Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall, 1420 E. Fifth St., at about 9:20 p.m. where an officer met up with the student.

The student said she had not been getting along with her roommate lately. The student said her roommate's family was visiting for the weekend, reports stated.

According to reports, the student said the roommate's father asked to speak to her outside. When they went into the hallway, the student said the father accused her of being a slob and an argument started, reports stated.

The student said she went back into the room and picked up the phone to call her father when the roommate's father reportedly grabbed her wrist and told her to give him the phone, reports stated.

According to reports, the student pulled the phone away, and the father grabbed her wrist again and bent the bracelet she was wearing.

The student called police when the family left the building, reports stated.

The student said she wanted to press charges for assault, reports stated.

A student was arrested Friday night after police saw her reportedly drinking at a fraternity party, reports stated.

Police were doing random identification checks at fraternity houses for underage drinking Friday night.

An officer was at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house, 1509 E. Second St., when he noticed Bridget Aitken, 19, of the 900 block of North Euclid Avenue, holding a beer and acting nervous, reports stated.

Police asked Aitken for identification and she showed the officer a stamp on her hand. The stamp was supposed to indicate that her identification was checked at the entrance of the fraternity and that she is old enough to drink, reports stated.

The officer asked Aitken for some proper identification, and police noticed an unopened can of beer in her purse when she went to get her driver license, reports stated.

Aitken gave the officer a New Jersey driver license and police ran a background check, reports stated.
